- A massive, mauling blocker on the edge. Robinson has generated plenty of buzz and will likely be the No. 2 tackle on many boards’. A good portion of Robinson’s blocks are double teams when crashing down and getting to the next level. He is dominant in these situations, but his responsibility will be to pass protect and block on an island in the NFL. He is a great athlete, but spotlighting these situations and focusing on posture, flexibility, and hand control will be important.

- Ford is an edge rusher that wins with speed and leverage. He is not the most powerful player but can convert speed to power when getting underneath his opposition’s pads. Ford gave one of my favorite prospects, Texas A&M RT Cedric Ogbuehi, plenty of difficulties with hand use. The senior could have a sub package passing role in the mold of Mario Addison in the NFL early on.

- Huge frame and length to win at the catch point in contested situations. Very good body control to slow down, time catch, and contort frame to haul in a catch. Long strides allow him to get downfield. Unafraid to work across the middle on deep posts. Able to make adjustments with the ball in the air that other receivers can’t. Displays strength after the catch. Can dominate in the red zone, on vertical passes, and with strength on slants. Mainly an outside receiver.

- Smith did not earn a starting role until this season, but he is a rangy linebacker that displays a physical style when lining up ball carriers. He overruns some plays and can get walled off, but Smith is the type of third- or fourth-round pick that can contribute. He will likely be a top-50 player for me.

- Jones projects as a strong side linebacker or LEO end in the NFL. He wins on the edge as a pass rusher, something he wasn’t asked to do very much until this season. I wonder what his responsibility and role will be against a run heavy offense in Malzahn.

- Joyner is awesome. The versatile defensive back has played safety and linebacker and will make a home in nickel situations in the NFL. Some pro teams have started using three safeties in nickel sets rather than three corners, and Joyner can fit that role. I do not want to say he is Tyrann Mathieu, but I would feel very comfortable selecting Joyner on the second day, despite his lack of ideal size.

- When he declares, Freeman has an argument for being this class’ top prospect at the position. His game reminds me of Ahmad Bradshaw due to a violent and aggressive running style, pass protection ability, and strong cuts.
